Yes, Republicans in Congress are trying to re-write history yet again by placing the entire blame on the White House.
This is simply not the case.
Boehner said during an interview aired Aug. 1, 2011, on the CBS Evening News that “when you look at this final agreement that we came to with the White House, I got 98 percent of what I wanted. I’m pretty happy.”
And on the House floor, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland pushed back on the GOP effort to blame the White House for the sequester.
In fact, Hoyer noted, six days before Republicans claimed Nabors first presented the sequester idea to them on Capitol Hill during a July 25, 2011, meeting, a House Republican bill had been passed to limit government spending — known as the “Cut, Cap, and Balance Act” — that “had as its fallback a sequester if the objectives of that bill were not reached.”
Boehner spokesman Michael Steel responded: “The idea of a sequester dates back to Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act in the 1980s. No one is saying President Obama—or Jack Lew—invented it. ”
As usual, Republicans do not care about the poor.
